Current applications are emerging in conductive applications and optical devices fabrication and biological applications. Pristine copper(I) oxide (Cu₂O) nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized through FE-SEM (Field emission-scanning electron microscope), XRD (X-ray diffraction), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy). Cu₂O nanoparticles are compared by varying molar ratios. The properties and nature of Cu₂O nanoparticles were enhanced with an increase of molar ratio. Enhancement in properties helps in developing energy applications. Prepared Cu₂O nanoparticles for development in bio applications and energy storage device. FE-SEM reveals that prepared nanoparticles lie within the range of 15-295 nm depending upon corresponding molar ratios. Which also proposes the nano regime. Other studies XRD, UV-Vis DRS (Ultraviolet-Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy), FTIR study reveals the pristine nature of Cu₂O.
